Test for Thyroid Cancer in Brookline, Massachusetts

Same day and Affordable Test for Thyroid Cancer, Locations Nationwide

Whether you're diagnosing cancer or monitoring cancer treatment, Request A Test offers a convenient and affordable Test for Thyroid Cancer in Brookline, MA. There are three lab tests to help with a diagnosis or to monitor treatment. The Calcitonin Test measures levels of Calcitonin in the blood. Calcitonin is a hormone produced by C-cells in the thyroid. It helps regulate the body's levels of calcium and phosphate. Since Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) affects C-cells, it may cause calcitonin levels to elevate. The Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Test measures the level of CEA in the blood. CEA is used as a tumor marker for a variety of cancers including thyroid, colon, breast, rectum, liver, pancreas, stomach and ovaries. A cancer or tumor marker is a substance, often proteins, made by normal cells and cancer cells. Elevated levels of a particular tumor marker indicate the possible presence of cancer. Further testing, imaging or a biopsy is needed to confirm a cancer diagnosis. During and post treatment, CEA may be tested to evaluate treatment. The Thyroglobulin Panel tests Thyroglobulin and Thyroglobulin Antibodies. Thyroglobulin is a protein made by the thyroid. Levels may be tested for papillary and follicular cancers.
